New IT Security Resources
Video Gallery
The IT Security office has added a new Video Gallery to its web site. Currently, the gallery is hosting three videos aimed at helping the Cornell community increase security awareness:
- Email Phishing 101 – A look at the Java phish that caught many Cornellians by surprise
- Secure Passwords in Plain English
- Phishing Scams in Plain English
Please inform Cornell faculty, staff, and students about the new Video Gallery and encourage everyone to watch the videos.
Lunch and Learns
Additionally, the IT Security Office is holding the first of a series of lunch and learns. Open to the entire Cornell community, the lunch and learns will take place online via Cornell’s WebEx service, so that anyone with an internet connection can attend from the convenience of their office or home. The first event, Securely Retiring and Recycling Your Computer, will take place at 12:00 pm on Monday, April 29. See the lunch and learn invitation for full details and a link to attend.
